Bags to fulfil my life

Do you think that if Coco Chanel was alive today she'd die with horror over how far the 2.55 has come? How many imitations and variations of this bag exist? How many people own a version without even know their copy's true source of birth? Anyway, my ultimate bag. Black lamb skin. Gold hardware. End of story.


But it's not the end of the story or at leas this blog story; it's almost the end, but not quite. I also really reeeeeally want this Sofia Coppola x Louis Vuitton bag. That's all really. Nothing new or ground breaking here. Just two classic, beautiful, amazing bags.

Oh, and p.s.

Was everybody else slightly underwhelmed by the Chanel Couture? Weird boots.

Bucket Bags

Bucket bags are totally awesome and I want one! Any of these would do. If I had one I'd refer to it as my 'bucket bag' for example :"Could you please pass me my bucket bag?" It'd be fantastic! Bucket Bags for Prime Minister!




S

Stuck for ideas?

So my birthday is coming up soon...Chanel J12 in black. The small version, I'm small. I will wear it FOREVER, promise. Thanks!

Chanel Resort

So Chanel Resort 2011. Let's get the stuff I like out of the way first shall we? Yes, let's.

Pink, gingham, frilly (enough) bikini. I will begin my summer-bod regime now! Okay. Tomorrow. Okay, okay LATER! GIVE ME A BREAK!



Mono-chrome short. Cool.



Mono-chrome long. Cool. But not a 5ft 2" girl's best friend. Or any kind of friend for that matter, best, or normal.



The perfect white dress. Like a delicious wedding cake (only if you get the chocolate inside though, fruit cake is the pits). But if I got this (scoff) I think I would cut it short. Yes, that's right. I'd cut a Chanel gown all on my own using the kitchen scissors . I guess it's a good thing I gots no sugar daddy.



Sparkly disco pants. For all the sparkly discos I frequently attend.



Weird outfit. Awesome outfit. Crop top of my dreams.



Okay so weird stuff. To be honest, most of it was weird. Very weird. Very Eastern European on a cruise (which I guess is the target audience?) Weird patterns. Weird cuts. Weird styling. Like this chick. What is she up to? With the denim skirt? And the boots? THE BOOTS? AND THE SKIRT? WITH THE BOOTS? WHAT?



[enter witty yet predictable comment about the fabric and it's likeness to kitchen curtains, Pagani clothing and middle school fabric tech projects]



Been raiding the Little Miss section at Ralph Lauren have you Baptiste?



And let's finish off with a skinny-bitch. Ooh, child get yourself some chicken nuggets already!

Please make it stop!

Please make the clogs stop multiplying. Not only are they coming out looking like a more polished version of the pair I had when I was seven (black with flowers along the rim), but they are now morphing into things like a clog-boot-thing. W.T.F? STOP! Just stop. These shoes are NOT flattering on seven-year-old girls, and they are also NOT flattering on grown women - model or normal human. Nasty, nasty, nasty. I shudder.

And P.S. is Lara Stone wearing peddle pushers? Or bike pants? Both things that happened to me in the 90s, but unlike dark purple lipstick and flannel - they are something, like clogs, that should stay in the past!

Chanel Nail Polish, again

Chanel 505 Particuliere nail polish

Do I hear eBay calling my name...?

Chanel Spring 2010

People have been calling this 'Yeeha' country. But is it really? To me it's more faux-country. Marie Antionette country. Controlled wild/rustic country. Whatevs Sarah! I like it. And Wily Allen performing live. I like that too.

Holy Cow

Oh, and just before I leave you, on a note totally unrelated to anything Chanel, children or ridiculous (this is rather serious). I would like some answers to a handful (a Sarah handful, so that's not actually all that much) of rather specific questions. All of which begin with, or contain the phrase "What the fuck?/Why the hell?". Thanks.

Christmas is coming

And I would like this. Yes, Ben, I want this. It is probably the only motorcycle I could ride without looking like a lesbian. At the least I would look like a fashionable lesbian with very expensive taste.
P.s Can someone please explain Bourriaud's theory on postmodern art to me in simple terms? I really can't be bothered reading his art dribble writings at the moment. I'm looking at you, Sarah Theobald!

2009 fall Chanel handbag ads

staring Lily Allen and some pretty fugly bags. And her fringe in the first and last photos is really, really annoying me!

Chanel wants over load

Yeah so this kind of falls into the shade of bottled muppet. But I still really want it.

Oh Karl

I have more interesting and intelligent things to say about all this, but I'm running ridicliously late. So instead I'll just sum it all up for you. Love.

Thanks

After further investigation

Okay you know what, I was so dissatisfied with my initial MET ball 2009 encounter I went digging for more. And oh boy did I find more...

Firstly here are two dresses I quite enjoy.


Diane Kruger in Chanel. As irritating as I have found Diane in every film I've seen her in, this is one cute dress. Even just for grocery shopping, this gets my vote.


Kate Bosworth in Stella McCartney. Again, yet another irritating actress in a rather nice dress. The length is a bit too Morticia Adams. Give me this dress, rip off all the material below the knee and you'd have one very happy camper over here.


Now, let's take a look at what else I found...


Katy Perry is the definition of fugly. This is totally messed up. The hair, the dress, the pose, the way she spells Katie, should I go on? I can't even make my self hate on her anymore. That's how disgusted I am over this one.


Laura Hollins (a.k.a Agyness Deyn) grinds my gears. She has no taste and/or style, and I think this proves any doubters wrong.


And finally, a highly disturbing image to go to sleep to. Madonna. Fucking hell. Not only is this 'woman' some kind of unexplainable freaky excuse of a human (let's not begin to discuss how she haunts me) but this outfit is a total insult to this event, fashion and my eyes. Give up, you are no longer young!

MET Costume Institute Gala 2009

I was really looking forward to this year's MET ball. You usually get some really great gems out of it, or at least some interesting choices to mull over. This year, however, I have been left feeling very much...ripped off.

There were no great WOW dresses. The Olsen's looked great (but I'll leave that for our in-house Olsen Twin expert Bif to b.l.o.g about later). Justin Timberlake wore some fabulously entertaining specs and in all honesty, my favorite outfit would have to go to Kirsten Dunst's borderline dowdy Chanel number - which in my opinion had slightly more 'pow' sashaying its way down the runway than on Hollywood's favorite snaggle tooth; maybe this is because I have yet to see an action shot of pretty little snaggle in this fantastic dress. Okay, I guess if I was stuck wearing Claire Danes' dress I wouldn't have a complete fit. Maybe just a very loud grumble.





As for the 'what were they thinking??!!' segment, well, that too was a complete let-down. I feel totally duped not really being able to go totally off on anyone's dress this year. The most disappointing thing about the bad outfits is that they seemed only worthy of a circa 2000 Academy Award attendance, not the freaking MET BALL you nincumpoops!I'm looking at you Renée Zellweger, Hilary Swank, Brooke Shields, Amber Rose(Kanye West's shorty)and Marisa Tomei.




Sigh, I shake my head in utter disappointment.

p.s. Helena's dress is a little weird. For some reason it reminds me something eye-patch Nadine would wear to this event. But still it's not TOTALLY mind-boggling strange, urgh! I just like how Zac Posen seems to be swaying from side to side in a semi-line-dance-move sort of way - wouldn't that be great if he really was! Someone get me a video of this and it will make this year's ball the best EVER! Regardless of what you may have just read.
